Description
3,3-Bis(hydroxymethyl)oxetane is a bifunctional oxetane building block supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for chemical and biochemical laboratory work. Identified by CAS number 2754-18-9 and empirical formula C₅H₁₀O₃, the compound has a molar mass of 118,13 g/mol. Key physical data include a boiling point of 128 °C and a flash point of 97,5 °C, supporting controlled handling during synthesis and formulation steps. This oxetane diol presents two primary hydroxymethyl groups on a strained four-membered ether ring, making it a compact intermediate for polymer chemistry, linker design, and further functionalisation. sourced from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the product fits catalogues of fine chemicals and biochemical reagents where defined purity and reproducible identity are essential. Laboratories can integrate it into multi-step routes that require a compact, oxygen-rich scaffold without relying on bulk quantities. Clear CAS, formula, and thermal data facilitate documentation, risk assessment, and inventory control in research and development environments.

Questions about 3,3-Bis(hydroxymethyl)oxetane, min. 95 %, 250 mg
What is this article?
3,3-Bis(hydroxymethyl)oxetane, min. 95 %, 250 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
